The More the Merrier!

        This week after reviewing the Nehena, the Amal, and the Yarai Alokim's approaches to understand life, I decided to focus on the Amals approach.
The Amal starts out by saying that the Nehenas philosophy was unintelligent and he would rather die than think that man does not make a difference. The Amal then explains that the work we do does have meaning.
After the Amal thinks about it, he realizes there are two problems with work:
1. Having work creates competition and problems.
2. People do not have someone to inherit the work that they put so much effort into.
Shlomo then comes up with a good idea to solve the problem of competition. The idea is to have two people work together! I personally think this idea is a great idea. When talking about work, if you have two people, you have two brains, which makes a world of differences. The two different brains both bring in so much which results in something really nice and beautiful. Also, no one in life wants to be alone. Having a second person makes everything so much better. When someone gets lonely they can have a friend to comfort and hangout with. There is even a song about it called " Two Is Better Than One" which helps show how important having someone else is. Not only that, but the song " Lean On Me" also shows this idea.
Even with animals, they enjoy being with someone else to help, work with, and comfort them.

    Okay, so back on track. Because two is better than one, Shlomo realizes that this will work to lower the chance of competition while working. Not even just two people, but  he realizes that three is better than two, four is better than three, etc. The more the merrier! After thinking about it, Shlomo realizes that he was the king and  with even all the wealth, power, and wisdom in the world,  Shlomo still messed up and strayed from g-d. The bottom line is that having more people in something ends up with a better outcome.Just because Shlomo was unsuccessful as king, that does not mean that if the idea was tried again it would not work. After Shlomo realizes that this idea will not work, he starts to think everything is worthless when really all he had to do was try his idea of a king again. If Shlomo would have done this, he may have had a little more ease knowing that there is meaning in life.
